  It just occurred to me that I completely forgot to elaborate on exactly how one gets robbed, so...
  I guess I should go fix that now!
  
  And, sorry if I wasn't clear;
  What I meant by that was, excluding the fact that the weakest bandit has 10 hp, the rest follow a 2x hp pattern.
  I believe the actual progression is something around 200 (novice), 400 (2nd-year), 800 (experienced), 1600 (veteran), 3200 (first-class).
  
  I'll make that more clear in the guide.

  
  
  Now they look scary :(

  I know right?
  
  Oh, just to clear something up for myself...
  
  Your guide strongly suggests that you only have to buy each mode of transportation once (Then you can use it whenever), whereas the wiki and Nexon made it out that you'd have to buy them each time. Which one is the case?

  
  
  The former is correct.
  Considering a profit above 10k ducats is high, and 20k is nigh-impossible,
  It'd just be unfair if Nexon made you spend 350k ducats every time you wanted to use an elephant.
  
  So yes, each mode of transportation is a one-time purchase.

  Thought it might be the case that transportation would sap part of the net income, lowering the profits to say, 1k~20k.
  
  But if what you say is the case, It might be a nice opportunity for people without mounts to travel faster to places they don't have warps for.~

  So is there any more information on that Tethra sword? It's one of the main things I'm looking forward to.

  Flamer and WC are going to be so abused for this system. Even at half damage, 320+ damage is something they can do easily for little to no cost or effort. :D

  What is the average exp you gain from this trading system?

  Thank you for the guide. I'll now be ready for when G15 comes out. ^^

  I'm quite favorably impressed by the experience that gives out; granted, it'll be a while before I have an exchange of 206k ducats, but I had been thinking this was going to be only rewarding in terms of ducats. What a nice surprise that it isn't. :D
  
  And Great Guide! +rep

  I can't remember some of the stats off the top of my head, but I do remember that it's a two-handed sword with 60~120 damage.
  I'll edit this post with more details when I see it in shop again.

  Once you get an elephant and gain access to all items, you can expect about 100k exp a trip.
  Sometimes as low as 50k, sometimes 150k or higher.
  Of course, when you start out, the exp gain isn't anywhere near that number, but it'll increase steadily.
  Seems like the Japanese wiki has figured out a formula for exp gain:
  経験値 ≒ INT((単品利益 * 単品重量) ^ 0.5) * 積載数 * 30
  Exp (is approximately equal to) Int[(Single item profit * single item weight)^0.5] * Item quantity * 30
  
  Some margin of error.
  
  I might as well add that to the guide as well.
